Multiple OR Condition not Working..
const camlQuery = `<View><Query>

    <Where>

       <And>

          <Eq>

             <FieldRef Name='Category' />

             <Value Type='Choice'>${currentCategory}</Value>

          </Eq>

          <Or>

             <Eq>

                <FieldRef Name='AccessGroup' />

                <Value Type='LookupMulti'>All Users</Value>

             </Eq>

             <Eq>

                <FieldRef Name='AccessGroup' />

                <Value Type='LookupMulti'>Test</Value>

             </Eq>

          </Or>

       </And>

    </Where>

 </Query></View>`

Above query is working

Below Query Throw Error :

Only 2 OR condition works..

<View>

<Query>

<Where>

  <And>

    <Eq>

      <FieldRef Name="Category" />

      <Value Type="Choice">Favorites</Value>

    </Eq>

    <Or>

    <Eq>

            <FieldRef Name="AccessGroup" />

            <Value Type="LookupMulti">TestVera82</Value>

     </Eq>

     <Eq>

            <FieldRef Name="AccessGroup" />

            <Value Type="LookupMulti">All Users</Value>

     </Eq>

     <Eq>

            <FieldRef Name="AccessGroup" />

            <Value Type="LookupMulti">TestVera92</Value>

     </Eq>

     <Eq>

    Hi @Hanumant Soft - Dev ,

    Since you are not allowed to put more than two conditions in one condition group (And | Or) you have to create an extra nested group (MSDN). The expression looks like this:

    <Or>
        A
        <Or>
            B		
    		<Or>
    			C
    			D
    		</Or>
        </Or>
    </Or>
